Apps You Don't Want To MIss 7/27/2013

Hipstamatic Oggl

Hipstamatic Oggl arrived for Windows Phone this week, offering users the ability to upload pictures to Instagram for the first time. Much like Instagram, Oggl has a number of different filters that can be added to photos to give them a different look. Unlike Instagram, those filters are chosen before you take the picture, although you’ll also have the option to update the lens and film speed afterwards, as well.

Swiftkey

On Tuesday, SwiftKey unveiled SwiftKey Cloud, a new suite of services that improves how SwiftKey works on your device, and also syncs that experience across all your devices through the cloud.

What's more, phrases you frequently use in other places (e.g. Facebook and Gmail) are brought into the app as suggested words. Popular phrases of the day in the news and on Twitter are also suggested.

Drive Assist

Want to know what the weather is going to be like on your route? Interested in how much time you’ve really spent in traffic? Drive Assist is a mobile app for iOS that brings such detailed information -- similar to what you might get in high-tech cars -- into any vehicle. The app is capable of displaying your speed, a compass, weather conditions and a map to your destination. An integrated music player also lets you control your tunes.

Google Play Games

This week, Google launched Google Play Games, a hub for discovering new games, tracking achievements and playing with friends. Only for Android, the app makes it easy to discover hot new games, as well as compare scores with friends.

FindIt

A new iOS app called FindIt launched this week in the App Store. The application helps you search your phone for content according to person, time or type. Searches span across your phone, Gmail, Google Drive and Dropbox, so you can always find the file you need, when you need it -- even if you don't remember where it's stored.

Walk Up

Always find yourself hitting the snooze button in the morning? A new app called Walk Up forces you to walk around before turning off. The app uses the built-in accelerometer in your iPhone to determine if you’re out of bed, and then makes you walk a predetermined number of steps before it will turn off.

Dollarbird

Keeping track of your finances can be a daunting task, so Dollarbird simplifies the process of tracking what you spend, and where you spend it, by plotting each expense on a calendar; that way, you can look back and see where and when you spend the most money over the course of a month.

BreakupText

Need to break up with someone? There’s an app for that. Called BreakupText, the app helps you end your relationship the easy way with a few taps on your smartphone screen.

To get started, you simply have to tell the app whether you’re breaking up with a man or woman, a serious or casual partner, and why you’ve decided to move on. Enter a phone number, and BreakupText takes care of the dirty work for you.

It can be tough to keep up with all the new apps released every week. But you're in luck — Mashable takes care of that for you, creating a roundup each weekend of our favorite new and updated apps.

This week, we found an app that keeps track of how you spend your money, and another that helps you search your phone for content according to person, time or type of file.
